I had hoped to align a business trip to make this meet, but it just is not happening. Is anyone planning on spending some time at the Eddie Current table that can do some listening impressions for me? I was also interested in the Questyle QP1/R DAPs if anyone is going to listen to those.
Impressions from the last meet were all thumbs up across the board, but without any SQ perspective or reference amp comparison or even HP pairing notes. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
- EC Lineup Comparison: I was hoping to see what pairs the best with the Audeze LCD lineup - any would do - from the new TOTL amp to the 445, 2a3, ZD, and BA. However, any headphone notes would do as I am familiar with most TOTL HPs. I am looking for a perspective of SQ differences, pairings, and perspective vs. other reference amps such as my Mjolnir SS.
- Black Widow vs. LC: I am also very interested to get a direct comparison of the new Black Widow to the Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon amp as both look very interesting.
- Questyle QP1/R vs. AK100ii: The AK is a hard to beat mix of UI, size, and SQ, but I would love to get a bigger, more desktop like sound - bigger but intimate soundstage, thicker, meatier, and more textured without giving up detail or transparency, warmer without a hint of always on bass. Can someone familiar with the AK100/120ii or 240 do a comparison for me:
- SQ
- UI
- Portability
